  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermindset coach, creative strategist, and also happened to
• 0:10
  be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning. So if I sound a little wonky,
• 0:30
  it's because I've attracted or contracted, I think is the right
• 0:34
  way to say it. I've contracted what my son has
• 0:36
  and not as bad. I don't have strep throat and I
• 0:40
  don't have bronchitis, but I definitely have the cold or the
• 0:43
  funk. So we're just going to call it
• 0:45
  the travel funk is stuck to me. There you go, Rufus.
• 0:48
  I have the travel funk that's stuck to me.
• 0:51
  So I apologize for the coughing, but anyway, so good lessons from
• 0:57
  this yesterday because one, my scout calendar is always pick
• 1:02
  just filled to the brim. My schedules are are busy and I
• 1:06
  worked. Of course I worked because I I
• 1:09
  felt like good enough to work. I felt fine to work.
• 1:12
  I was just very stuffy and whatnot.
• 1:14
  And it was interesting how I observed something.
• 1:18
  So my body was on point, like I was totally fine all day long.
• 1:22
  And as soon as I got to the afternoon, all of a sudden my,
• 1:27
  my body went like, I'm talking like afternoon, like 5:00.
• 1:31
  So when I finished my last session, it was like my body
• 1:35
  knew that that was the done part for the day.
• 1:38
  And it shut down. And I looked at my family and I
• 1:43
  said, I'm going to bed. And they were like, well, it's
• 1:46
  5:45 and I was like, I'm going to bed.
• 1:49
  And I went in and I slept until this morning.
• 1:53
  Like I slept 1314 hours, something like that. 13 hours I
• 1:58
  think I slept and I was just exhausted physically but hadn't
• 2:04
  really paid attention to it because my, my, my body was so
• 2:09
  conditioned to work. And that's what happens.
• 2:13
  But again, not a bad thing. I'm not complaining about that.
• 2:16
  What I'm saying is it was an observation of saying sometimes
• 2:19
  you just need to sleep that amount of time.
• 2:22
  And I thought this is interesting because when I came
• 2:24
  home from the trip and I got off the red red eye, I also went to
• 2:27
  bed and slept for 13 hours. And I was like, wow, these are
• 2:31
  big long sleeps that never happened in my like I'm a 7 hour
• 2:35
  a night girl. So I was like, OK, my body's
• 2:38
  talking to me and it's my job to pay attention to it.
• 2:41
  I have to listen. I have to, to to comprehend that
• 2:45
  it's telling me that I need to take the breaks.
• 2:49
  So even this morning coming out and getting the chickens open
• 2:53
  and doing things, my afternoon chores, which I would normally
• 2:56
  do late in the day while and not care if it was too hot or what
• 3:01
  not. I'm doing them in the morning
• 3:03
  because I'm like, OK, And you can probably hear the water
• 3:06
  going off in the background because I'm watering the plants
• 3:09
  at the chicken poop while I'm out here now so that I don't
• 3:12
  have to do it later when it's too hot and my body is out of
• 3:16
  whack to do it. Because I'm anticipating that
• 3:19
  I'm going to be tired again based on the fact that it's
• 3:22
  trying to heal. I'm also, you know, taking care
• 3:25
  of it by filling up with electrolytes and all kinds of
• 3:28
  other good things. But it's just this whole idea of
• 3:31
  being generally observant. And it's not about powering
• 3:34
  through because my son said to me, well, you didn't have to
• 3:36
  power through it. You could have gone to bed.
• 3:38
  And he's right. I could have changed my
• 3:40
  schedule, but I didn't feel bad enough to change my schedule.
• 3:43
  And I didn't feel, my question is always, is this going to
• 3:46
  affect my clients? Is this going to affect my
• 3:49
  outcome of my clients? And I did not feel like that was
• 3:51
  the case. I felt like I had to sit so I
• 3:54
  could not do the normal thing that I would do, which is
• 3:57
  essentially walk while I'm talking, but I could still peak
• 4:02
  perform psychologically and strategically for them.
• 4:06
  So that's what I did. And in the meantime, I sat my
• 4:09
  butt down and I rested. And like, that's exactly what
• 4:12
  I'm doing now. I'm just taking it easier this
• 4:15
  morning so that I don't have to stress my body out.
• 4:19
  And these are general observations about what's going
• 4:21
  to make me be able to do this better, even better than I had
• 4:25
  done it. So I'm encouraging you, if you
• 4:28
  have these things that are showing up, pay attention to
• 4:31
  them. If you need to go to bed and
• 4:32
  sleep so that you can be better for the rest of the week, do it.
• 4:36
  I mean, again, this is back to a self-care conversation that
• 4:39
  we've been talking about. But you have to pay attention to
• 4:42
  it because the truth is, if you don't pay attention to yourself
• 4:46
  care, no one else will. They will take advantage of you
• 4:50
  and keep using you up and using you up and using you up because
• 4:53
  that's what we, we as people do. We'll say, Oh, well, if she, he
• 4:56
  or he has given, then I'm going to do that.
• 4:59
  I'm going to take. It's just the nature of if this
• 5:02
  person is giving me things, I'm going to be taking things.
• 5:06
  Is there anything wrong with it? I mean, there's only something
• 5:09
  wrong with it. If it bothers you, If you like
• 5:11
  that, then that's great. And if you don't like that, then
• 5:13
  we have to do something about it.
• 5:15
  So point being, you have to pay attention to what your body's
• 5:19
  telling you. Listen.
• 5:20
  And I'm going to be doing that over the next couple days so
• 5:23
  that I can recover and be completely strong again and get
• 5:26
  rid of this weird throat thing. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:30
  you have a blessed day and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:32
  Bye.
